poem

The following poem appeared recently in INFOCUS magazine.
The original authors were Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese of Calvin College
& Seminary of Grand Rapids, MI.

A poll conducted among INFOCUS readers had established "waka" as the
proper pronunciation for the angle-bracket characters <, though some
readers held out resolutely for "norkies."

The text of the poem follows:

        <> !*''#
        ^"`$$-
        !*=@$_
        %*<> ~#4
        &[]../
